That said, this year there are a few issues that will put the board on the spot.

Here we take a (light-hearted) look at what's on the agenda and what's likely to happen.

Boardroom reappointments

These are passed each and every year, without any difficulty, largely thanks to Mr Desmond's firm grip on power. The Irishman is, himself, up for reappointment - as are several other directors who retire by rotation. The long-serving Tom Allison and former Labour MP Brian Wilson will also go before a vote and again, should breeze through without much of a grumble, unlike one of their fellow directors...

Mr Livingston I presume

Michelle Mone and Ian Livingston: Champions of Glasgow's East End

Or should that be Lord Livingston of Parkhead - which must stand as one of the most ludicrous titles around - apart from Baroness Mone of the Brazier. The former BT chief is almost as popular as Dave King up the Celtic Way after he backed the Tories plan to cut tax credits for the lowest paid. I am not sure if he really thought that one through, given the fact that many of those affected will be expected to fork out for Celtic season books and buy the replica jerseys - all the while surviving on baked beans and fresh air. More importantly, his vote goes against the founding principals of Celtic Football Club. Unless I've got it all wrong and it was actually established to pick the pockets of the poor as they sat at charity dinner tables.

This concerns a share issue "up to an aggregate nominal amount of £2,241,197." Which obviously doesn't come anywhere near close to Dermot Desmond's shareholding.

The living wage

Big Derk: What was that about a living wage...?

This is the issue that won't go away and is listed as a special resolution, largely due to the efforts of fans who continue to take the club to task. They want to see all Celtic employees paid a living wage. Celtic insist the issue only impacts on a small number of part-time, match day staff and that they have held a consultation with employees. There is, however, something obscene about the likes of Derk Boerrigter picking up a five-figure weekly wage and pulling up outside in a supercar while the guys watching his brief - and genuinely putting in a shift for the club - are being paid in pennies. "Hearts do it," the shareholders will ask, "why can't we?" And again, this issue cuts right to the core of Celtic's founding principals.

Where's Dermot?

Stick your dough on this one, the man with the millions won't be there. He's an infrequent visitor to Celtic Park as it is these days, so why in God's name would he spend a morning at the AGM being called an 'absentee landlord'? "Is Mr Desmond ever seen around these parts any more?" asked one shareholder in 2012. Meanwhile, back home in Ireland, a man chuckled, twiddled his moustache and counted his money.

The bold Ronaldo

Ronny Deila will, as he was last year, be in attendance and could find himself with a case to make. Dominant European displays aside, he is under pressure - particularly with his side winless and bottom of their Europe League group. Some will ask if the club is doing enough to back him. The fact is that they have scrapped their money-spinning pre-season tours at his request and allowed him to bring in his own men. Nadir Ciftci was, for example, the striker he wanted. The club's entire policy of buy cheap, sell big is in the spotlight though and shots will be fired so to speak. The board has the experience to dodge the bullets, does their manager?

The Rangers...

'The EBT years' could be a talker

There she is, the big blue elephant in the room. Celtic's neighbours remain a thorn in the side. One fan went as far as sending Peter Lawwell his scarf and cancelling his season book after Celtic failed to demand that every player from the Rangers nine in a row era was marched through the streets of Glasgow in horse hair shirts and whipped as punishment for their clubs' sins (I am sure that was the reason). Anyway, this year the questions will centre on the 'EBT years' and include calls for Celtic to demand that they are stripped of titles and trophies. You have to feel for Celtic on this one. They have run a tight ship, operated within their means, but are still getting heat for financial mismanagement. They can only hope that a few gags about Rangers defuse the situation. They usually do. Then again, the Celtic directors who also sit on the SFA board could come in for a little extra attention this year.

A shot from leftfield

When are we moving to the new stadium?

There's always one. And they always brings some light relief - while wasting valuable time for real questions. In fact, I am starting to suspect that the people asking the bizarre questions are plants. One gent wanted healthier food in the pie stalls, one wanted to know about that new stadium the club was building over the road (that would be the velodrome my friend), meanwhile others groaned or chuckled. Expect the unexpected.
